Why go
The carved passage gives the climb an atmosphere quite different from the busy streets below. It also makes the ridge’s former defensive importance easier to picture. Link the staircase with the fort if you are comfortable with steps above downtown Nassau.
What to look for
- A steep flight carved through limestone links downtown Nassau with the high ground near Fort Fincastle.
Useful to know
- Use the staircase and Fort Fincastle as one walk; expect steps and damp stone underfoot.
